Re: Thin clients

Exactly.  And with some good utilities, you can keep that kind of
junk/clutter pretty well under control also.

As far as the roll out concerns you mentioned earlier, Rob, you should see
some of the remote manager utilities (at least the iGel one) - they make
initial deployment, updates, profile changes, and occasional hardware
replacement virtually a non-issue.

It can be tough to quantify exact savings over the years (we think a
million plus for us), but it's of tremendous value to productivity and your
IT shop's image (which is important and sometimes hard to maintain!) for
your users to NOT have alot of issue that they would have had using PCs
over the years.

Actually we've had users that used thin clients that say they run quite a
bit faster than local devices.  And the thin client may have been running
on an old 486.  Remember, you're not downloading the data - you're only
downloading a screen of data at a time.

So, now that I think about it I believe I am wrong on the cookies, etc.
Those all go on the server that supports the thin client.
